The build-up made me anticipate something actually happening by the end but it was anti-climactic, the story didn’t have a plot, and I wasn’t interested in the characters.

9. Do you wish to be a writer?

Yes.

10. Has any book ever influenced you greatly?

I’m influenced by everything I read but there isn’t anything in particular that stands out as being the most influential to me.

11. Do you read fan-fiction?

Not as often as I’d like to.

12. Do you write fan fiction?

Nope, but I might give it a shot someday. It might be boring because I only explore alternate endings and think about what could happen next in a story, I prefer sticking to canon for everything else (like relationships).

Howards End by E.M Forster mainly because I HATED studying it at uni, I had to force myself to read it so it was a pretty traumatic experience that will make me hate this book forever.

15. Do you prefer physical books or read on a device (like a kindle)?

I prefer physical books but I tend to buy a lot more Kindle books because it’s easier to take my Kindle around with me.

16. When did you learn to read?

I’m not sure…

17. What is your favourite book you had to read in school?

At primary school, I loved reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone to my year five teacher as part of our reading sessions (she told me it was ‘Priv-et Drive’, not ‘Private Drive’). In secondary school, I loved studying Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (if we’re counting plays). I studied English Language and Literature at Sixth Form, and my favourite was Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, which made me cry. I studied too many amazing books at uni to even begin writing them down here, so I’ll stop at Sixth Form.

18. What is your favourite book series?

Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Wrath and the Dawn, and A Court of Thorns and Roses. I think The Wildings, The Conqueror’s Saga, and Maresi will become favourites too once I read more books in both series.

Victoria Schwab! I follow her on Twitter and her tweets always make me laugh.

46. Which author do you think you’d be friends with?

Probably Nilanjana Roy and Victoria Schwab.

47.What book have you reread the most?

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and the Harry Potter series. There are a lot of books I want to reread but I can’t because my TBR is too long.

48. Which books do you consider ‘classics’?

Books that are timeless in the sense that I can pick them up at various points of my life, re-read them, and always find something in them that pulls at me. Books that can be read straight, upside down, sideways and backwards, and give me a different idea to explore each time. That’s my personal definition of a ‘classic’.

49. Which books do you think should be taught in every school?

I feel like the curriculum in the UK needs to be more diverse (and not entirely British!). I’d like to see writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Malorie Blackman, Haruki Murakami, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker (maybe even Hafez and Rumi!) being taught at secondary schools.

50. Which books should be banned from all schools?

I don’t agree with banning books, but I feel like students should be encouraged to acknowledge and criticise problematic themes in books and across all material they read, whether that’s a newspaper or a fiction novel they’re reading in their own time.
